The Giro d'Italia marks the first Grand Tour of the year and it appears to be a wide-open race given the absence of the reigning champion.

Tadej Pogačar will miss the Giro in order to prepare for a tilt at the Tour de France this summer, leaving a power vacuum ready to be filled.

Slovenian compatriot Primož Roglič, who won the Giro in 2023, is considered the favourite before the first hill has been climbed, but that could all change once the riders set off.

Adam Yates is the best British hope for the Giro, which begins outside of Italy this year.

The event will depart from Durrës, the first of three stages in Albania, before an early rest day to travel across the Adriatic to Lecce, Italy.
